So That Was A Thing
Mar. 12th, 2012 10:52 pmToday I was officially ordered by my boss to work less hard. My whole team was - apparently we are like ten times more efficient at processing copy than anyone else on the floor? Which is a good thing, but Manager J doesn't want us to take on too much and get overwhelmed, so this afternoon she instituted a team-wide policy that we reduce our workload a bit and start taking a couple of minutes to breathe between releases. And opened a private chat with me and the other new hire so she could remind us that seriously, we are still trainees, we shouldn't feel like we have to do ALL THE WORK just because there are releases sitting in the queue. Also, I get two 15 minutes breaks a day? NO ONE TOLD ME THAT WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THAT.
So, I shall now feel totally guilt-free in taking a mid-morning snack break and pausing to check football scores during my shift, because I am just doing as I was told.
Fun, fun, weekend this week. My grandma was in California visiting my aunt and uncle for her birthday a couple of weeks ago, so we had a belated birthday party for her with my aunt and our roommate and my dad's girlfriend. Roommate and girlfriend's slightly appalling racism in our after-dinner discussion aside, it was a pleasant dinner, and it was nice to spend time with my grandma, since I haven't had the chance to see her much lately. And after dinner I got to go to a show!![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
hanjuuluver was home for spring break, and I had a couple of tickets for a show my grandma had gotten and then realized she couldn't go to, so the two of us drove into town for ice cream and Russian dancing and folk music. It was pretty awesome, there was acrobatics with swords and heartfelt love songs that somehow still sounded like rousing drinking songs and one extremely homoerotic dance-off between two groups of sailors on rival ships.
With that to start the week off, and my gaming group breaking into an art museum to look forward to, even stupid daylight savings time can't make this week quite suck.
